Fossil remains for this Dinosaur have been found in India

Barapasaurus was one of the earliest of the giant,
long-necked plant-eaters. It is very well known because many
different individuals have been found. The only trouble is,
no head has been discovered, so its complete look remains a
mystery.

The bone bed where Barapasaurus was discovered contained
the remains of as many as 300 sauropod specimens.
Consequently, the composite skeleton constructed from these
fossils may have some proportional errors.
